Hi, I’d be very grateful if someone could help me with my problem. I’ve spent hours trying to get the BIOS mod working for my Z170-Deluxe with a QTJ1; I already had it running on my GA-H170-Gaming 3, but I can’t get the modded BIOS to work on this board. I’ve tried various versions of CoffeeTime, BIOS files, and Intel ME firmware, but nothing works. If anyone has already done this, could you share the file or guide me on how to get it running?
When I load the modded BIOS with the QTJ1 installed, the motherboard’s error display shows “00”.

I managed to fix it; the issue was that the processor pins weren’t making proper contact with the motherboard. I resolved it by slightly loosening the socket screws—the permanent fix is to add washers under the socket mounts.
P.S. I’m including the modded BIOS and the build details here, in case anyone needs them.
